what a bastard i am for not remembering my actress’s names.
in the weeks following surgery, i was feeling a little slow and my short term memory was a little wonky. i was a little worried about my cognitive ability, so i found this website, Lumosity, that has cognitive training games and lets you keep track of your progress. there was this one match game, basically Memory, where you have cards in a grid, and you flip two cards, trying to find the two that match. Except rather than two identical matching cards, you have to match a name with the face. I was pretty good overall, but I saw a lot of discrepancies in how I recognize people by name. I recognize young guys who are smiling the easiest, followed by men who aren’t smiling, and far in the distance…women. If two women had blond hair or similar “styles,” i couldn’t tell which name belong to whom for the life of me.
it shows my priorities. I love me some men with nice smiles, don’t give a shit about women.
i’m not proud.
